The Ruling on Interpreting Dreams as the Occurrence of a Specific Event in the Future

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some dream interpreters say in their interpretation of dreams that such and such will happen in such and such a year, and they may specify the day or the year. Is this a claim of the unseen, which is mentioned regarding those who claim it?

Answer:
Without a doubt, the interpretation of a dream is conjectural; it is not definitive. The interpretation of a dream is speculative, not certain. So if he says that it will happen on such and such a day and in such and such a place, it means that he is certain that this interpretation will come true. This is invalid. The interpretation is speculative, merely an expectation and an intuition. It is not definitive; it may happen or it may not. For this reason, Yusuf said: He said "conjectured" because when the interpretation of the vision was explained to him, it indicated that the interpretation of a vision is speculative, not certain. Yes.
